"Success in School/Skills for Life" Online Resource Kit

Supporting Children's Mental Health Matters

The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has created this electronic "Success In School/Skills for Life" Online Resource Kit to help schools provide parents easy access to basic information about their children's academic, emotional, and social development. School psychologists are trained to identify and help address a wide range of issues that can impact a child's school experience. They are an important resource for parents, teachers, and students.

Handouts are free and can be downloaded to your school website. Many are available in Spanish and English.

Focus on Mental Health

Handouts this year focus on children's mental health and the role of school-based mental health services in promoting students' success in school and life. Also included are handouts on homework and academic focus.

Special Bonus: Color PDF of the NASP 2011 poster, "Supporting Mental Health Matters"

Handout Content

Handouts provide background information, suggested strategies, recommended next steps, and additional resources. The information is not intended as a comprehensive prescription and parents should be advised to seek additional help if a problem persists. The handouts include links to additional resources on the NASP and NASP Center websites, but we also encourage you to provide contact information for your school psychologist.

Register and Download Your Kit

Schools can access the Tool Kit free of charge, register for the program, and download the fact sheets to your site. You may also include a direct link, on your website, so that that parents can download handouts from NASP themselves.

School professionals and organizations (e.g., the PTA) may print the fact sheets individually for hard copy distribution. However, all fact sheets must be disseminated in the original form and the information credited to NASP, whether in print or online format. Parents may download handouts for their personal use from either their school website or the NASP Center website. Other uses or mass dissemination require specific permission from NASP.
